Poonnagunn Hotel

Poonnagunn Hotel is a 3-star property on Thanon Inthrakiri in Tambon Mae Sot, the town’s central subdistrict, putting it inside Mae Sot proper rather than on the outskirts. Guests rate the location 9.1 out of 10, one of six review categories that all sit above 9.0. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:00, with check-out flexible between 10:00 and 11:00.

Two room types are on offer: a Standard Twin Room with two single beds and a Double Room with one extra-large double bed, both 32 square metres. Breakfast is a buffet spread, and the facilities list runs to a dedicated Kitchen category, Living Area and Media & Technology amenities, plus Safety & Security and Accessibility provisions. Free private parking is confirmed at the hotel, and staff service is the highest-rated category at 9.5/10.

Insider Tip: Check-in stays open until 23:00 and checkout is flexible until 11:00, useful if you’re arriving late and don’t want to rush the next morning.

The central address suits travellers who want walking access to Mae Sot’s gem market and town-centre restaurants without needing a taxi, and the across-the-board 9-plus review scores for staff, facilities, cleanliness, comfort and value suggest it holds up well for a short stopover before or after the Umphang road. It’s a straightforward 3-star hotel rather than a resort, though — there’s no dedicated pool or spa facility listed, so anyone chasing that kind of amenity should look elsewhere in Mae Sot’s small hotel scene.

At 9.2 ‘Superb’ on Booking.com, Poonnagunn Hotel is one of the higher-rated stays in central Mae Sot. The Tambon Mae Sot address puts the gem market, Friendship Bridge approach roads, and everyday restaurants within reach on foot or a short ride, and it works as a base for exploring the town before heading out toward Umphang. For a 3-star buffet-breakfast stay with a 9.1/10 location score, it’s a solid, no-surprises choice in the town centre.
